I finished work late today and was standing outside my office waiting for a cab to come by. The road was comparatively deserted. One cabbie pulled up but then refused to go where I wanted to go. After saying no, he immediately got out and waved to one other cab for me. Some two more taxis stopped. He made sure that I took the one which was standing there for a long time waiting for a passenger.
I was amazed at this guy’s thoughtfulness. First for me and then for the other cabbie.
I promise I’ll stop shouting at all the auto and taxi-wallahs like the way I do – in my typical Delhi way.
And for the first time in four months I behaved like a Bombay-wallah – I loosened up and asked my taxi guy to switch on the radio. He switched it on.
“Tum bhi chalo, hum bhi chalen…chalti rahe zindagi….”
Yes, so right!
